‎Hebraism in Sixteenth-Century England: Robert and Thomas Wakefield‎

‎, Brepols- PIMS, 2024 Hardback, 348 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9780888442314.‎

‎Summary Robert Wakefield and his brother Thomas were pioneers in the study and teaching of Hebrew in early modern England. Robert was trained at Cambridge, acquired expertise in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Arabic, and obtained professorial status in Louvain, Cambridge, and Oxford. Thomas took possession of his brother's books and manuscripts upon his death; he enjoyed long tenure as praelector in Hebrew at Cambridge and was a compulsive annotator of his books. This volume draws together the political, linguistic, and bibliographical materials that shaped the careers of these two scholars, revising previous claims and producing a compelling analysis of Hebrew learning in sixteenth-century England.

‎Encounters on the Holy Mountain: Stories from Mount Athos‎

‎Summary Mount Athos, the home of Orthodox spirituality and monasticism, has been in existence for at least 1200 years. Home to over 2,000 monks, in twenty glorious monasteries filled with treasures, the peninsula is undergoing a transformation and renewal of faith. In 1956 there was a proposal to build hotels on Mount Athos. Today it hosts up to 1,000 pilgrims every day! Why? This book will help explain this extraordinary place, the current resurgence, the growing population of monks, the sense of purpose, the love and affection that are so much part of the environment. This wonderful story, with a preface by HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, is told through the recollections of the Friends of Mount Athos, an organisation that has, for thirty years, provided support for the institutions, landscape and people. Here are the stories of enchantment from over forty people of different nationalities, customs and beliefs. In addition to the text, there are a collection of special photographs and a map.

‎Commentaries on The Angelic Hierarchy‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 412 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503600437.‎

‎Summary Thomas Gallus (d. 1246) was the Abbot of Vercelli in the north of Italy. Initially a canon regular in the abbey of St Victor in Paris, he helped found a new monastery and church in the home town of his patron, Cardinal Guala Bicchieri. As well as commenting on the Canticle of Canticles three times, Thomas was renowned for his expositions of the works of Dionysius the Areopagite, commentaries which earned him the title magister in hierarchia (master of the hierarchies). This volume contains the first translation in any language of his Glosses on the Angelic (or Celestial) Hierarchy (completed in 1224), as well as his more detailed Explanation of the Angelic Hierarchy (finished in 1243). The commentaries are fascinating for their insights into Thomas's teaching that love has a higher access to an experience of God than the intellect, the role of the angelic hierarchies in the mystical return of the soul, the psychological interpretation of the angels as representing faculties of the soul, and the use of symbols representing analogical features of the divine. The source text of this volume appeared in Corpus Christianorum, Continuatio Mediaeualis as Thomas Gallus, Super angelica ierarchia (CCCM, 223) and Glose super angelica ierarchia (CC CM, 223A). References to the corresponding pages of the Corpus Christianorum edition are provided in the margins of this translation.

‎Stadtgesellschaft und Memoria. Die Ausrichtung auf das Jenseits und ihre sozialen Implikationen‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 402 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:10 b/w, 51 col., Language: German. ISBN 9782503599939.‎

‎Summary Die Beschäftigung mit der Memoria, dem mittelalterlichen Totengedenken, zieht sich leitmotivisch durch die Forschungstätigkeit von Thomas Schilp 19. Oktober 1953 - 28. September 2019). Angeregt durch die Arbeiten von Otto Gerhard Oexle zur mittelalterlichen Erinnerungskultur erschloss er mit seiner ihn auszeichnenden Sorgfalt im historischen Sehen und Denken sowie in der präzisen und gleichzeitig interdisziplinären Analyse der uellen immer weitere Dimensionen dieses alle sozialen Schichten und alle Bereiche des täglichen Lebens umfassenden Phänomens. Dabei war für ihn von zentraler Bedeutung - wie auch in diesem Band - die Art und Weise, wie die Konstituierung unterschiedlichster gesellschaftlicher Gruppen zur Gewährleistung des Totengedenkens erfolgte. Seine Forschungen verdeutlichen auf verschiedenen, sich durchdringenden Ebenen eine von heutigen Denkformen unterschiedene Auffassung gesellschaftlichen Lebens. Dabei rücken die neue Leseart von Bildern, die Interpretation von Tönen und Klängen (wie beispielsweise Schlag und Geläute von Glocken) als akustische Zeichen sowie ephemere Erscheinungen wie etwa die mittelalterlichen Lichtinszenierungen in Kirchen immer stärker in den Blickpunkt seiner Ausführungen. Thomas Schilps früher Tod ermöglichte es ihm nicht mehr, die begonnene umfassende Monographie zum Thema Stadt und Memoria fertig zu stellen. Dieser Band vereint eine Auswahl von Aufsätzen, welche die Dimensionen seiner intensiven Beschäftigung mit Formen mittelalterlichen Denkens und Handelns reflektieren.

‎folios introductifs de l'Antiphonaire de León (Archivo de la Catedral de León, ms. 8, fol. 1-27). Étude et édition‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 500 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:46 b/w, 44 col., 30 tables b/w., Language(s):French, English, Spanish. *new ISBN 9782503593913.‎

‎Summary L'Antiphonaire de León, «?joyau des antiphonaires latins?» (dom Louis Brou), est le seul complet de l'ancienne liturgie hispanique. Conservé à la cathédrale de León et daté du dixième siècle, il est introduit par vingt-sept folios qui appartiennent très certainement au manuscrit originel. Encore largement méconnus malgré leur grande richesse, ces folios contiennent des textes littéraires et liturgiques, un calendrier, des miniatures, des tableaux et des roues de comput, ainsi qu'un traité de comput. L'édition de ces pièces - à l'exception du traité - et leur analyse pluridisciplinaire (codicologique, paléographique, iconographique, littéraire, musicologique, liturgique et computistique) permettent d'étudier en profondeur la vie religieuse et la culture de cette époque, l'importance de l'héritage wisigothique, les influences venues du monde ultra-pyrénéen, ainsi que les origines et les remaniements de ce codex. Ces folios introductifs constituent tout à la fois la porte d'entrée et la clef de lecture d'un manuscrit dont l'histoire se trouve au c?ur des grands enjeux de son temps?: réalisé pour le monastère San Cipriano del Condado, il fut vite transféré au monastère Santiago de León puis au chapitre de la cathédrale. Bien que proche des centres de pouvoir - il comporte les seings du roi Ferdinand Ier et de ses fils -, il sombra dans l'oubli lorsque son fils Alphonse VI accepta en 1080 de renoncer à la liturgie hispanique et d'adopter, à la demande du pape Grégoire VII, le rit romain. Cette étude participe à sa redécouverte.

‎New Commentary on the Old English 'Prose Solomon and Saturn' and 'Adrian and Ritheus' Dialogues‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 435 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:8 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503603278.‎

‎Summary Who was not born, was buried in his mother's womb, and was baptized after death? Who first spoke with a dog? Why don't stones bear fruit? Who first said the word 'God'? Why is the sea salty? Who built the first monastery? Who was the first doctor? How many species of fish are there? What is the heaviest thing to bear on earth? What creatures are sometimes male and sometimes female? The Old English dialogues The Prose Solomon and Saturn and Adrian and Ritheus, critically edited in 1982 by J. E. Cross and Thomas D. Hill, provide the answers to a trove of curious medieval 'wisdom questions' such as these, drawing on a remarkable range of biblical, apocryphal, patristic, and encyclopaedic lore. This volume (which reprints the texts and translations of the two dialogues from Cross and Hill's edition) both updates and massively supplements the commentary by Cross and Hill, contributing extensive new sources and analogues (many from unpublished medieval Latin question-and-answer texts) and comprehensively reviews the secondary scholarship on the ancient and medieval texts and traditions that inform these Old English sapiential dialogues. It also provides an extended survey of the late antique and early medieval genres of 'curiosity' and 'wisdom' dialogues and florilegia, including their dissemination and influence as well as their social and educational functions.

‎Three Writings on Mystical Theology: Exposition of the Mystical Theology, Commentary on the Canticle of Canticles, On the Seven Steps of Contemplation. With Accompanying Translations and an Introduction‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Paperback, 533 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):English, Latin. ISBN 9782503607337.‎

‎Summary This volume contains a newly-edited exposition on the Mystical Theology contained in MS UV6 of the Biblioteca degli Intronati in Siena. The MS attributes the work to the abbot of Vercelli (Thomas Gallus), but this is shown to be a false attribution. A commentary on the Canticle of Canticles has also been attributed to Thomas Gallus but argued against by J. Barbet in Brepols' SRSA volume 10 (2005). This commentary is reprinted and accompanied with the first ever English translation. A treatise on the Seven Steps to Contemplation in Latin with an English translation is the third text. An introductory critical study evaluates all three works and argues that they all belong to the same author, pseudo-Thomas Gallus.

‎Thomas McKnight - Windows on Paradise‎

‎, Abbeville Press, NY, 1990 Hardcover, 190 pages, ENG, 350 x 270 x 20 mm, dustjacket, in Perfect Condition !, illustrated in special colours. ISBN 9780896600881.‎

‎The wide appeal of McKnight's world is explained in part by its mixture of wild beauty and domestic luxury. His idyllic islands in the sun invariably include aspects of the developed culture he considers indispensable. McKnight's paradise has the best of everything -- what better definition of heaven can there be? Clearly and strongly, his beautiful images of places near and far appeal to our senses -- his lush but subtle color, his charming and elegant compositions, his skillful rendering of form -- these qualities we admire and enjoy in the works of master artists of all time. Thomas McKnight's work is in the collections of major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and millions of his paintings and silk-screen prints have sold through galleries and print stores across the nation. McKnight, who has devoted his time exclusively to art since 1972, is best known for his pictures of serene and beautiful rooms. These inviting, jewel-toned spaces have large windows or archways overlooking equally attractive outdoors scenes both local (Boston Public Garden or Manhattan Penthouse) and exotic (Venice, Parts, or the Greek isles). "This was my first introduction to Thomas McKnight, who has traveled the world and has translated his vision into gorgeous, colorful paintings rich with detail, whimsy and creativity. McKnight finds paradise everywhere he goes, and it's easy to enjoy his vision and fantasize about your own experience there, from New York City to the Greek Islands, to the Caribbean. A great book gift for those who travel, or for armchair travelers. Makes you want to see his artwork 'up close' to see even more." ‎

‎Albert & Isabella: ESSAYS: The Promise of a Golden Age.‎

‎, MRAH - BREPOLS, 1998 Paperback , 368 pages, English/French /SP / NL. Illustrations. Fine. ISBN 9782503507262.‎

‎Dit boek, uitgegeven naar aanleiding van de succesvolle tentoonstelling in 1998, is een unieke bron van informatie voor de regeerperiode van Albrecht en Isabella in de Nederlanden (1598-1621). Zo?n 400 jaar geleden was het hof te Brussel, dankzij hun mecenaat en cosmopolitische geest, een model voor de andere Europese vorstenhuizen van die tijd. De aartshertogen leverden een belangrijke bijdrage tot de uitstraling van wat later de ?Vlaamse barok? zal genoemd worden. De eeuw van Pieter Paul Rubens lijkt nu ondenkbaar zonder de steun van dit vorstenpaar. This book is a selected collection of essays on the court of Archdukes Albert and Isabella in the Low Countries as a flourishing centre of arts, and on their great contribution towards the radiation of the style later known as Flemish Baroque. The Rule of the Archdukes Albert & Isabella over the Low Countries began in 1598, exactly 400 years ago. Their highly cosmopolitan court became a flourishing centre of the arts, a showcase for other courts throughout Europe. The archdukes made a great contribution towards the radiation of the style later known as 'Flemish Baroque'. The century of Peter Paul Rubens would never have been the same without the support of Albert and Isabella. In the Habsburg Netherlands, a region split by civil war, the protestant Northern Provinces had broken away from Catholic Spain, while Spanish rule was established in the Southern Netherlands. The confidence between sovereign and subject would be restored by the Archdukes. The Twelve Year Truce (1609-1621) brought the necessary peace for a political, economic and in particular cultural revival. Albert and Isabella surrounded themselves with a score of artists, including the architects Wenzel Coebergher and Jacques Franckaert, the composer Peter Philips and the court painters, Peter Paul Rubens in the first place, but also Jan I Brueghel, Otto Van Veen and Theodoor van Loon. The South-Netherlandish humanists, Justus Lipsius in particular, brought about an intellectual apogee. With contributions by: W. Thomas, J. Martinez-Millan, R. Valladares, T. DaCosta Kaufmann, A.

‎Setting out in Life ‎

‎London S.W. Fores 1796 Une belle copie de cette caricature, collée sur une feuille de support. Malheureusement, la personne qui l'a collée l'a rognée de très près, et autour du titre (voir photo), de sorte qu'aucune information sur l'éditeur n'apparaît. Un père demande à son fils quel métier il veut faire. Le fils aime bien l'idée de devenir évêque, avec un bon salaire pour très peu de travail ! L'estampe est propre et bien rangée, et pourrait encore être joliment encadrée. L'estampe mesure 32 cm x 22,5 cm. La feuille de support mesure 36,5 cm x 27 cm Thomas Rowlandson (13 juillet 1757 - 21 avril 1827) était un artiste et caricaturiste anglais renommé de l'ère géorgienne, célèbre pour sa satire politique acerbe et ses observations sociales vives. Ses uvres, souvent paillardes et robustes, vont de la caricature individuelle à l'illustration de romans, de livres humoristiques et d'ouvrages topographiques. Il est considéré comme l'un des plus grands artistes graphiques britanniques, aux côtés de contemporains comme James Gillray. .‎

‎A nice copy of this caricature, pasted onto a backing sheet. Sadly, the person who pasted it trimmed it very close, and around the title (see photo) so no publisher information showing. A father asks his son what career he wants. The son rather likes the idea of becoming a Bishop, with good pay for very little work! The print is clean and tidy, and could still be nicely framed. Print is 32cm x 22.5cm. Backing sheet is 36.5cm x 27cm Thomas Rowlandson (13 July 1757 21 April 1827) was a renowned English artist and caricaturist of the Georgian era, celebrated for his sharp political satire and vivid social observation. His works, often bawdy and robust, ranged from individual caricatures to illustrations for novels, humorous books, and topographical works. He is considered one of Britain's greatest graphic artists, alongside contemporaries like James Gillray. .‎

‎Authority and Power in the Medieval Church, c. 1000-c. 1500‎

‎Summary While they often go hand-in-hand and the distinction between the two is frequently blurred, authority and power are distinct concepts and abilities - this was a problem that the Church tussled with throughout the High and Late Middle Ages. Claims of authority, efforts to have that authority recognized, and the struggle to transform it into more tangible forms of power were defining factors of the medieval Church's existence. As the studies assembled here demonstrate, claims to authority by members of the Church were often in inverse proportion to their actual power - a problematic paradox which resulted from the uneven and uncertain acceptance of ecclesiastical authority by lay powers and, indeed, fellow members of the ecclesia. The chapters of this book reveal how clerical claims to authority and power were frequently debated, refined, opposed, and resisted in their expression and implementation. The clergy had to negotiate a complex landscape of overlapping and competing claims in pursuit of their rights. They waged these struggles in arenas that ranged from papal, royal, and imperial curiae, through monastic houses, law courts and parliaments, urban religious communities and devotional networks, to contact and conflict with the laity on the ground; the weapons deployed included art, manuscripts, dress, letters, petitions, treatises, legal claims, legates, and the physical arms of allied lay powers. In an effort to further our understanding of this central aspect of ecclesiastical history, this interdisciplinary volume, which effects a broad temporal, geographical, and thematic sweep, points the way to new avenues of research and new approaches to a traditional topic. It fuses historical methodologies with art history, gender studies, musicology, and material culture, and presents fresh insights into one of the most significant institutions of the medieval world.

‎Ars Antiqua, Music and Culture in Europe c. 1150-1330‎

‎Summary The long thirteenth-century saw the emergence and proliferation of a diverse and unprecedented outpouring of musical activity known as the «ars antiqua». Polyphonic, monophonic, liturgical, paraliturgical, secular, Latin, and vernacular genres were cultivated and disseminated throughout Europe on a scale not seen since the imposition of the liturgical plainchant repertory centuries earlier. This volume presents eleven new contributions that address the principal polyphonic genres of the time (organum, motet, conductus) as well as vernacular and monophonic songs, issues of musical and poetic aesthetics, manuscript tradition and production, authorship, liturgical practices, the continuance of «ars antiqua» ideas well into the fourteenth-century era of the «ars nova», and the role that information technologies may play in future «ars antiqua» scholarship. With its examination of musical and cultural contributions from all across Europe through a wide variety of different perspectives by a range of scholars from all over the globe, this book both contributes to and substantiates the healthy state of inquiry into one of the most significant artistic achievements of pre-modern Europe.
